That's the key issue - Bacula doesn't notify for unmounted devices as 
it assumes the operator knows what he's doing. Unfortunately, that 
might well be, but errors still happen...

One solution would be a simple monitoring... for example using Nagios, 
you could monitor for unmounted devices and notify after one hour of 
not being mounted. Sounds like a fun thing to implement... quite 
simple, I think.

Because the device is, at that time, still mounted.

No, a feature, but, admittedly, one that can bite ;-)
